Good morning, it’s been just about a year since I created my embroidery, Into the unknown, so I thought it was worth a look back… Please feel free to delve into all the foliage! 😉🪡🌿🌺 *completely freehand stitched, no patterns or paints just threads. #stitchedart #thesewingsongbird

PSA: The Trump administration changed the form used to register and request absentee ballots, removing the checkbox for US citizens who have never lived in the US(even though some are eligible to vote under state law). The change could block eligible voters and was made without proper public notice.

Trump’s past 24 hours of desperation:

— posts Sen. Tom Cotton’s cellphone number and tells people to call him over daylight saving time
— again tries to scam voters with fraudulent promises $5,000 checks to every adult citizen if Republicans win the House and Senate
— says if Democrats win it will be “a 1929 disaster” and an economic depression, essentially admitting he believes his term will lead to a Great Depression
— tells a Mobile, Alabama rally to close their eyes and “pretend I’m on the ballot”
— says he’s giving $100 checks to 20 million seniors

It was this month, October, in 1959 when Robert Zimmerman started using the stage name Bob Dillon at the Ten o’clock Scholar in Minneapolis. He’d just arrived from Hibbing for his first year at the University of Minnesota and was trying to make a (new) name for himself at the folk clubs of Dinkytown

caption; 
John Koerner and Bob Dylan jam at the Scholar, circa 1960 Lee remembers Bob as a "cleancut kid," very intense and deter-mined.
"Do you mind if I play?" Bob asked when he wandered into The Scholar sometime in October. "I want to be a folk singer."
Lee chatted with him briefly, learned that Bob had some experience, and told him it was all right to play. "I'm not going to pay you," …

The term “sexual harassment“ was coined at Cornell in 1975 after an administrator resigned from her job after repeated unwanted sexual advances from her physics supervisor. When she applied for unemployment her claim was denied & was not considered “vocationally related reasons".

Clean air is now a “burden.” Trump’s EPA announced it will reconsider smog-control requirements for parts of Texas after Gov. Greg Abbott pushed for relief. This comes as Abbott declared a diesel price “disaster” and separately requested waivers for cleaner diesel standards.

From Josh Helfgott: CE handcuffed a nurse in front of her 3-year-old son on their way to Disneyland—even though a judge already ruled she could NOT be sent back to Indonesia. After 15 days behind bars, a federal magistrate just ordered her FREE.

I am so mad. I will not brook ANY bullshit. Do not tell me that a vasectomy is horrible for men, and thus comparable to a woman's experience with birth control. No way. Birth control sent my body into overdrive. Morning sickness, cramps. Tubal ligation is major surgery. An IUD is painful insertion.
